In a nutshell, you can't, and it doesn't matter:

1) it's almost impossible that the list maintainers will listen to you
   without a court order to remove or modify that page, also because
   probably it would be a complicated procedure)

2) at this point, it's even useless to ask: even if the OO.o
   webmasters did what you ask:

       the archives are replicated in many other places, and even the
       ooo page is already in Google's and other search engine pages
       
       all a spammer has to do to collect addresses in real time is
       subscribe to the list: every subscriber to the mailing list
       receives the whole raw message.

       the first time one replies to your messages in any list the
       address may show there (in the attribution line, where I
       manually put "Don't count on this next time..."

       other reasons which I am not going to write now, also because
       all this discussion already happened. Check this thread:

http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=discuss&by=thread&from=1493788

This said, yes, it would be great (if nothing else as a good example,
since it wouldn't solve anything practically) if the ooo archives
didn't behave in this way.

Ciao,
        Marco
